Former Greece police chief sued by his lawyer

by Bud Lowell

Former Greece Police Chief Merritt Rahn is being sued by his defense attorney.

Lawyer John Parrinello claims Rahn owes him nearly $70,000. Parrinello represented Rahn in 2010 when he was on trial for evidence tampering and official misconduct. Rahn was found guilty of faking a background check for a former officer and for trying to cover up another officer's involvement in a hit-and-run crash on 390.

Rahn was convicted and served more than two years in prison before being paroled in 2012. He filed for bankruptcy last year.
